Young Americans (Single Version|2002 Remaster) - David Bowie

Lyrics by：David Bowie

Composed by：Brian Eno/David Bowie

They pulled in just behind the fridge

He lays he down he frowns

Gee my life's a funny thing am I still too young

He kissed her then and there

She took his ring took his babies

It took him minutes took her no-where

Heaven knows she'd have taken anything

All night

She wants the young American

Young American

Young American

She was a young American

All night

But she wants the young American

All the way from Washington

Her bread winner begs off the bathroom floor

We live for just these twenty years

Do we have to die for the fifty more

All night

He wants the young American

(Young American young American)

(He was a young American)

(All night)

He was a young American

Do you remember your President Nixon

Do you remember the bills you have to pay

Or even yesterday

You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler

A pimp's got a Cadi and a lady got a Chrysler

Black's got respect and White's got his soul train

Mama's got cramps and look at your hands ache

(I heard the news today oh boy)

I got a suite and you got defeat

Ain't there a man you can say no more

And ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw

And ain't there a child I can hold without judging

Ain't there a pen that will write before they die

Ain't you proud that you've still got faces

Ain't there one damn song that can make me

Break down and cry

All night

I want the young American

(Young American young American)

(I want the young American)

(All night)

I want the young American young American

(Young American young American)

(I want the young American)

(All night)

You want I I want you
